Another Boring, Drama-Free Post
So. I’m finally…
starting…
to understand…
what…
everyone…
was talking about…
when they said…
the first…
trimester…
was…
exhausting…
*snore*
Yeah. The steroids have left the body, and I’m full on into zonked-out mode. Can I just sleep for the next 7 months? Please?
In more amusing symptom-watch news, I have developed the silliest pregnancy symptom ever. Actually, I’ve had it for many many weeks now, I just didn’t realize it was related to being sprogged up.
Double-sneezing. Like: Achoo-choo!
I’ve never sneezed like this before, but all of a sudden, I’m sneezing a lot, and always these bizarro double sneezes. But I didn’t connect it to pregnancy until I googled “double sneeze” and saw that some women start sneezing like this when they’re pregnant. No idea why. Way too funny. Here – let me sneeze for you. You’ll laugh.
Boobs aren’t as sore, but I’m trying – mostly successfully – not to freak out since I spent most of yesterday trying not to yechh. I love nausea. Nausea is my reassuring, can’t-be-ignored friend right now. I’ve also had this killer headache for the last two days. I’m thinking it’s a combination of coming off the prednisone, and a warning sign that I’m not drinking enough water. Which is really giving me fits again. I can stomach milk. Or hot chocolate. Or ginger ale. But water? Plain old water? Blech. My old standby, sparkling water? Yechhhh. Going to buy lemons today to see if sour works for me as well as sweet, but in the meantime, I’m just sticking close to a toilet while I drink.
Yuck.
Other than that, it’s another boring, drama-free post. I’m still spotting, but I’ve become as accustomed to that as it’s possible to be. You know – I’m creeping up on 10 weeks here. Which is astonishing to me. And I get another ultrasound in a few days (which is wonderful and I heart my new doctor for understanding the terror, as well as understanding what alleviates the terror!)
Now I just have to figure out how I’m going to go eat brunch, polish the silver, buy candles, buy flowers, buy new knitting needles (since the one I’m using right now is cracked & likely to die at any point.) arrange flowers, buy cheese, buy whiskey, consider buying new napkins, buy a new pie pan (since mine never came back from Christmas), buy pie ingredients, make the pie, set the table, and TAKE A NAP all in the next ten hours.
So far, the napping part looks like the most fun…
Zzzzzzzzzzzz…………
Yay for pregnancy symptoms! Sounds like you have a busy day – the only part I am going to do as well is the brunch part – I am going to try and eat as much fat and protein as I can until these babies get here in the hopes that it helps fatten them up. Other than that, I am going to let my husband drive me around town, drive the store scooters and buy some stuff.
BTW, thanks for the award!!!
I think the nap should take priority over all the other stuff – then just do what’s fun and don’t worry about the rest! You can always (shudder!!!) BUY a pie if you just run out of time. Remember your body is demanding a lot more of you these days, so revel in your nausea.
Looking forward to the report tomorrow on how everything went!
Hi sweet Sprogblogger, your day sounds full! hope you let yourself off any hook you can if you need to– mmmmm pie, mmmmmmm pie.
Yeah, pie.
and hope your day is wonderful and full of good things and a BIG big nap.
love

OK. You are a fabulous writer and I love and look forward to your posts, but I am so happy in a special way when they include being drama free. The 1st trimester nap time was always the best. I would fall asleep at any opportunity and would wake up hours later soooooo happy I got a nap. Hope you get as many as you can, snuggled next to a snoozing pup.
